In \u003ci\u003eA Queer New York\u003c\/i\u003e, Jen Jack Gieseking highlights the historic significance of these spaces, mapping the political, economic, and geographic dispossession of an important, thriving community that once called certain New York neighborhoods home.\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on well-known neighborhoods like Greenwich Village, Park Slope, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Crown Heights, Gieseking shows how lesbian and queer neighborhoods have folded under the capitalist influence of white, wealthy gentrifiers who have ultimately failed to make room for them. Nevertheless, they highlight the ways lesbian and queer communities have succeeded in carving out spaces—and lives—in a city that has consistently pushed its most vulnerable citizens away.\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully written, \u003ci\u003eA Queer New York \u003c\/i\u003eis an eye-opening account of how lesbians and queers have survived in the face of twenty-first century gentrification and urban development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40823297572961,"sku":"9781479848409","price":86.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/f9d95de401dc4ca4376ed60326d7a096.png?v=1685567938","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781479848409-queer-new-york","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
